So we took Stephs car in for an alignment.
An hour later, after running a couple errands, we see her car on the road. What a coincidence to see it. So I slow down to look at it, and the kid mechanic driving it takes off down a side street trying to race me. After reaching 100mph and cutting off 2 cars, he finally slowed down a little.
When I finally pulled up next to him, I told him 'that is MY car" . . . . the look on his face went from 'yeah, lets race' to 'oh ****'

I saw him in my rear view. I slowed down to say 'look steph, your car'
He thought I wanted to race, so he dropped a couple gears and hit it. He cut me off, then went around a ford explorer and on up to about 90-100. I hit 101mph trying catch him, and it wasn't until the next stop sign that I could pull up next to him. (Stephs car is faster than I thought)
This is the 5th time her car has been in to the same shop to get the alignment done. They still haven't got it right, and now this!!!
I called the owner/manager and he was not too happy either.Everyone else there is cool, incompetent, but cool.

major chain or just privately owned? If it's a major chain, I'd go to Corporate with it.

the monthly meets generally pull the same number of guys every month....between 10-20. There will be plenty of people to meet. I may be there in my 8, or my 3 depending on whether the smog check goes well today and my 8 sells.

i went to a goodyear service center once (long time ago), they forgot to tighten the alignment bolts, two tires later i went somewhere else.

i took my company truck to Goodyear in inglehood, and they left needle nose pliers
in the turbo, and chewed up the blades. i kept wondering why this big truck
